Depending on the model, the appropriate connection box is already installed. PERMANENT MOUNTING For either desktop or wall mounting, the base station can be fastened directly to a flat surface using screws (not included). NOTE: When the base station is mounted on vertical surfaces, permanent mounting is always required.
Wall Mounting WALL MOUNTING The base station contains a reversible positioning tab for horizontal or vertical mounting. Figure 1 - Positioning Tab Desktop Positioning Tab (Horizontal) Wall Positioning Tab (Vertical) When shipped, the base station has the positioning tab installed in the Desktop position (horizontal). For vertical installation, the positioning tab must be rotated. Changing the Orientation of the Positioning Tab: 1. Remove the screw holding the tab in place. Keep the screw for reuse. 2.

System Connections SYSTEM CONNECTIONS CAUTION: Connections should always be made with power off. The BC9630 (BC9600 + CM9630 connection box) provides a multi-interface connector for connections to a host and a power supply connector for an external power supply. To unlock the multi-interface cable, first lift the lever and then extract the cable, as indicated by the label next to the lever.
System Connections RS232 BC9630 BC9631 USB The power supply is optional, the base station can be powered by the USB port. In this case, the full charging of an empty battery will take about 16 hours with an approved USB cable (type A) and 6.5 hours with an approved USB cable (type C) at ambient temperature. For intense usage and/or when the system is shut down during the night, the use of an external power supply is recommended.
System Connections BC9631 ETHERNET BC9680 Connecting and Disconnecting the Cables Connecting BC9630 cables Connect the multi-interface cable first, then connect the power adapter cable. Finally, power on the base station.
System Connections After connecting the power supply cable, secure it on the strain relief as shown in the figure below. Disconnecting BC9630 cables To disconnect the cables, power off the base station, unlock the lever and press down the cable clip using a pen or a similar tool.
System Connections Pull out the multi-interface cable and put the lever back into lock position.
